5 Ways to Get Your Property Ready for July 4th Weekend in Arkansas

Written By Sean Damon

Make the Most of July 4th weekend on Your Land in Arkansas

The Fourth of July is more than fireworks and grilled burgers—it’s also a golden opportunity to knock out land projects before the heat of late summer. Whether you're hosting friends or just want to enjoy a clean, functional space, here are 5 jobs to tackle this Independence Day weekend:

1. Clean Up Your Property for Guests

Summer storms and fast growth can make your property look wild. Before guests show up, take a few hours to:

  • Brush hog the pasture or yard

  • Mow trails or clear paths

  • Trim tree limbs or haul off storm debris

    Best Equipment: Compact tractor + rotary cutter or a zero-turn mower

    Rental Tip: We offer same-day rentals, and weekend rates are perfect for holiday jobs.

2. Build or Refresh a Fire Pit Area

Bonfires and fireworks go hand-in-hand. Clear and level a new fire pit zone or upgrade your current setup:

  • Remove brush and small trees

  • Move landscape rock or gravel

  • Set out seating and lighting

    Best Equipment: Skid steer with bucket or grapple

    Rental Tip: A weekend rental gives you time to move everything without burning out.

3. Touch Up Gravel Driveways Before Company Arrives

Don’t let your driveway give guests a bumpy welcome.

July is ideal for:

  • Smoothing ruts and potholes

  • Re-crowning gravel driveways

  • Expanding parking areas for extra cars

    Best Equipment: Tractor with land plane or box blade

4. Prep for Late-Summer Projects

Use the holiday weekend to get ahead of fall prep.

You can:

  • Till gardens or food plots.

  • Clear areas for fencing.

  • Stake out your next build.

    Best Equipment: Tiller, auger, rotary cutter.

    Rental Tip: You don’t need to own the tools—just rent what you need for a few hours.

5. Remove Stumps Before Decorating

Got a stump where your American flag should be? Let’s get rid of it.

Best Equipment: Stump grinder, chainsaw, or skid steer with grapple

Service Option: Don’t want to do it yourself? We offer stump grinding services too.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Let Equipment Slow You Down
